| Florence + the Machine – Dog Days Are Over Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I don't give a damn what Florence wanted to mean. For me, this lyrics is about a break up. Hapiness is this thing waiting after that. You try, and then you try, but then you find that the loved one (someone who should know better than that) had made someting that is impossible to let go (breaking the trust, "no turnig back"). It hurts and nothing can be done now. You need to keep going, but for that, you need to leve the love you feel for that person and all he/she men (the lugage) behind, if you want to carry on (or "survive"). Yeah, you wanted everything from that person, but it was nothing for what it worthed. It's time to run, then, for everyone that matters. The dog days are over, so you better run, cause the horses (whatever the life coming is), here they come. | |

Hi. This is my first contribution, sorry if my english is not very good. I wanted to express my interpretation because I haven't seen any that I completly agree, even there are a lot of suggesting ones. For me this song is, yeah, about a night of real love and sex, about the begining of a relationship, that can't take the "lean on" of traditional and conventional love. No God ("hands of above") or tradition can make any guaranty, and, in fact, doesn't seem to be a problem. One night, ten days, wathever time it lasts, if there is real love (and of course, good and true sex), then it's "good enough", and no "lean on" on any supernatural thing (god, "tradition", marriage, etc.") would make it better. Great song, confronting stupidity and predjuices, gorgeous lyric. Not that sure, but in the context of denying the hands of God to lean on a relationship, the "hand of the devil" sounds to me as taking our own decitions (maybe one night of wild sex, why not?) out of any supposed metaphysical "right way". Choosing the hand of the devil means, as standing against tradition (marriage maybe, sex represion, etc.), to be the true makers of our lives, concerning only to the realy important things (love, pleasure, sharing... humanity and not what a group of priest call "divinity")... then, we'll really have a "divinie sense". Well, that's my interpretation, what do you think? |
